Brenden Mann Internship Program At the Embassy of israel (DC) and Consulate General
of Israel (LA)

PROGRAM OVERVIEWDue to the growing success and popularity of the Brenden Mann Israel Internship Program
at Pepperdine University, we are adding two additional placements beginning in 2014
at the Embassy of Israel in Washington DC and/or the Consulate General's Office in
Los Angeles. Since both of these institutions play a critical role in facilitating
Israeli-US relations, it would be an ideal internship for students to gain both professional
experience and to learn more about Jewish history and culture. Internships at the
Embassy and Consulate of Israel provide an excellent opportunity for college students
to receive valuable insight into U.S.-Israel relations and the nature of Israeli diplomacy.
Interns are encouraged to attend the many events that take place regularly at these
institutions. These internships are designed to provide students with an inside look
at the day-to-day activities of the Embassy and Consulate. Interns are assigned projects
in a range of fields, including public diplomacy (academic affairs, inter-religious
affairs, cultural affairs, and social media) and press. They are given the opportunity
to help create public relations materials, respond to inquiries, research and manage
information requests. Special projects may also be created for individual interns
based on their skills and interests.

REQUIREMENTS, COMPENSATION, CREDITInternships last three months and are available Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.
Students receive 4 credits and are assigned the requisite academic supervision. Interns
are paid by the Brenden Mann Foundation at the rate of $200 per month.

APPLICATION INFORMATIONApplicants are required to possess strong interpersonal, communication, and analytical
skills as well as administrative abilities. For positions at the Embassy, travel experience
in Israel and knowledge of Israeli politics, society and culture are preferred. Students
with strong computer skills, including experience with graphic design and multimedia
editing, are particularly encouraged to apply.
